According to a press release from the Hillsdale County sheriff's department, Jace Lyon was found Friday at 6:51 p.m.

In a video interview with Hillsdale Watch, sheriff Timothy Parker said the boy was hiding in a residence less than a mile from his own home. When the homeowner discovered the boy, police were contacted.

It's unclear how long he had been in the home.

Lyon was reported missing Wednesday after his mother returned home from her job at a nearby hospital. Lyon had previously been home alone.
